1. _ Sing
Sing, sing a song
Sing out loud
Sing out strong
Sing of good things not bad
Sing of happy not sad
(*) sing, sing a song
Make it simple to last
Your whole life long
Don't worry that it's not
Good enough for anyone
Else to hear
Just sing, sing a song
La la la la la
La la la la la la...
Sing, sing a song
Let the world sing along
Sing of love there could be
Sing for you and for me

2. _ Yesterday Once More
When i was young
I'd listened to the radio
Waitin' for my favorite songs
Waiting they played i'd sing along
It made me smile
Those were such happy times
And not so long ago
How i wondered where they'd gone
But they're back again
Just like a long lost friend
All the songs i loved so well
(*) every sha-la-la-la
Every wo-wo-wo
Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're starting to sing's
So fine
When they get to the part
Where he's breakin' her heart
It can really make me cry
Just like before
It's yesterday once more
Lookin' back on how it was
In years gone by
And the good times that i had
Makes today seem rather sad
So much has changed
It was songs of love that
I would sing to then
And i'd memorize each word
Those old melodies
Still sound so good to me
As they melt the years away
Repeat (*)
All my best memories
Come back clearly to me
Some can even make me cry
Just like before
It's yesterday once more
Repeat (*)

3. _ Goodbye To Love
I'll say goodbye to love
No one ever cared if i should live or die
Time and time again the chance for love has passed me by
And all i know of love is how to live without it
I just can't seem to find it
So i've made my mind up
I must live my life alone
And though it's not the easy way
I guess i've always know
I'd say goodbye to love
There are no tomorrows for this heart of mine
Surely time will lose these bitter memories
And i'll find that there is someone to believe in
And to live for something i could live for
All the years of useless search
Have finally reached an end
Loneliness and empty days will be my only friend
From this day love is forgotten
I'll go on as best i can
What lies in the future is a mystery to us all
No one can predict the wheel of fortune as it falls
There may come a time when i will see that i've been wrong
But for now this is my song
And it's goodbye to love
I'll say goodbye to love

4. _ Superstar
Long ago and oh so far away
I fell in love with you before the second show
Your guitar, it sounds so sweet and clear
But you're not really here
It's just the radio
(*) don't you remember you told me you loved me baby
You said you'd be coming back this way again baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh, baby, i love you i really do
Loneliness is a such a sad affair
And i can hardly wait to be with you again
What to say to make you come again
Come back to me again
And play your sad guitar
Repeat (*) twice

5. _ Close To You
(they long to be)
Why do birds
Suddenly appear?
Everytime you are near
Just like me
They long to be
Close to you
Why do stars
Fall down from the sky?
Everytime you walk by
Just like me
They long to be
Close to you
(*) on the day that you were born
The angels got together and decided
To create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moondust in your hair
Of gold and starlight in your eyes of blue
(**) that is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me
They long to be
Close to you
Repeat (*)
Repeat (**)
Just like me
They long to be
Close to you
Woo... close to you...

6. _ Top Of The World
Such a feelin's comin' over me
There is wonder in most everything i see
Not a cloud in the sky
Got the sun in my eyes
And i won't be surprised if it's a dream
Everything i want the world to be
Is now coming true especially for me
And the reason is clear
It's because you are here
You're the nearest thing to heaven that i've seen
(*) i'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation i can find
Is the love that i've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world
Something in the wind has learned my name
And it's tellin' me that things are not the same
In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze
There's a pleasin' sense of happiness for me
There is only one wish on my mind
When this day is through i hope that i will find
That tomorrow will be just the same for you and me
All i need will be mine if you are here
Repeat (*) twice

7. _ Ticket To Ride
(*) i think i'm gonna be sad
I think it's today, yeah
The boy that's driving me mad is going away
(**) he's got a ticket to ride
He's got a ticket to ride
He's got a ticket to ride
And he don't care
He said that living with me
Is bringing him down, yeah
He would never be free
When i was around
Repeat (**)
Don't know why he's ridin' so high
He ought to do right
He ought to do right by me
Before he gets to sayin' good-bye
He ought to do right
He ought to do right by me
Repeat (*)
Repeat (**)
Don't care
Think i'm gonna be sad...

8. _ For All We Know
Love, look at the two of us
Strangers in many ways
We've got a lifetime to share
So much to say and as we go on from day to day
I'll feel you close to me
But time alone will tell
Let's take a lifetime to say
I knew you well
For only time will tell us so
And love may grow for all we know
Love, look at the two of us
Strangers in many ways
Let's take a lifetime to say
I know you well
But only time will tell us so
And love may grow for all we know

9. _ We've Only Just Begun
we've only just begun to live
White lace and promises
A kiss for luck and we're on our way
We've only just begun
Before the rising sun we fly
So many roads to choose
We start our walking
And learn to run
And yes! we've only just begun
(*) sharin' horizons that are new to us
Watchin' the signs along the way
Talkin' it over just the two of us
Workin' together day to day, together
(**) and when the evening comes we smile
So much of life ahead
We'll find a place where there's room to grow
And yes! we've only just begun
Repeat (*)

10. _ Hurting Each Other
No one in the world
Ever had a love as sweet as my love
For nowhere in the world
Could there be a boy as true as you love
All my love
I give gladly to you
All your love
You give gladly to me
Tell me why then
Oh why should it be that
(*) we go on hurting each other
We go on hurting each other
Making each other cry
Hurting each other
Without ever knowing why
Closer than the leaves
On a weepin' willow baby we are
Closer dear are we
Than the simple letters "a" and "b" are
All my life
I could love only you
All your life
You could love only me
Tell me why then
Oh why should it be that
Repeat (*)
(**) can't we stop hurting each other
Gotta stop hurting each other
Making each other cry
Breaking each other's heart
Tearing each other apart
Repeat (**)

11. _ Rainy Days And Mondays
Talking to myself and feeling old
Sometimes i'd like to quit
Nothing ever seems to fit
Hangin' around, nothing to do but frown
Rainy days and mondays always get me down
What i've got they used to call the blues
Nothing is really wrong
Feeling like i don't belong
Walking around some kind of lonely clown
Rainy days and mondays always get me down
Funny but it seems i always wind up here with you
It's nice to know somebody loves me
Funny but it seems that it's the only thing to do
To run and find the one who loves me
(*) what i feel is come and gone before
No need to talk it out
We know what it's all about
Hanging around, nothing to do but frown
Rainy days and mondays always get me down
Funny but it seems that it's the only thing to do
Run and find the one who loves me
Repeat (*)
Hangin around, nothing do to but frown
Rainy days and mondays always get me down

12. _ It's Going To Take Some Time
It's going to take some time this time
To get myself in shape
I really fell out-of line this time
I really missed the gate
The birds on the telephone line (next time)
Are cryin' out to me (next time)
And i won't be so blind next time
And i'll find some harmony
But it's going to take some time this time
And i can't make demands
But like the young trees in the wintertime
I'll learn how to bend
(*) after all the tears we've spent
How could we make amends
So it's one more round for experience
And i'm on the road again
And it's going to take some time this time
And i can't make demands
I'll learn how to bend
It's going to take some time this time
No matter what i've planned
But like the young trees in the wintertime
I'll learn how to bend
Repeat (*)
